Refrigeration Air Chiller System Evaporating Temperature, Constant or Variable - AirChiller

edit

I believe the output for the Refrigeration Air Chiller System Evaporating Temperature remains constant, corresponding to the Rated Cooling Source Temperature input for the air chiller. This conclusion is based on a simulation where the air chiller was OFF during the simulation runtime, and the Refrigeration Air Chiller System Evaporating Temperature consistently matched the -24°C which is exactly the Rated Cooling Source Temperature.

In the provided figure, the compressor's electric power and heat transfer rate, plotted on the left, both equil zero since the refrigeration system is turned off. Nevertheless, the evaporating temperature persists at -24°C ( on the right), precisely matching the Air Chiller's Rated Cooling Source Temperature.

Based on these observations, it seems that E+ does not independently calculate the evaporating temperature; rather, it appears to directly pass the Rated Cooling Source Temperature input as an output.

I would appreciate confirmation or additional insights from anyone familiar with this.
